Posts from - Patches for Heroes 3

Which version are the forum members playing?

On heroesworld, people predominantly play 4.0 and 3.2 (which, by the way, are compatible with each other). That is, if you update your version to 3.2, you will be able to play with those who have 4.0. TE or WoG are played quite rarely.

and what makes 4.0 better than 3.2?

and how is 4.0 better than 3.2?

4.0 is the complete collection, including 3 parts - Erathia, Blade and Breath. You don't need to install the map generator and conflux, there is a Russian chat (unlike SoD), and in battle you can see the opponent's mana amount (unlike SoD). Also, 4.0 has bugs that were removed in 3.2 (some of these can be skillfully used to gain a slight advantage over SoD players). I guess I haven't noticed anything else good.

Could you please tell me where I can find a no-CD patch for Heroes of Might and Magic III (version 4.1.1.1, if that's relevant)?

Could you please tell me where I can find the patch for version 3 that removes the disk check (4.1.1.1, if that's relevant)?

If you are referring to the patch used in the current Best of the Best tournament, you can download it from the tournament thread in the second post!

No way! I need a fix from the original disc FOR PLATINUM EDITION. I found one separately for version 1 somewhere; there probably is one for version 3 as well. And will it work with this patch (4.1.1.1)?

So, will I have to virtualize 5 GB? )))

A deterrent, huh? Well, theoretically, it doesn't exist, or at least I haven't seen it. And why is it 5 GB? The game disc for the third installment was a CD.

A training tool, huh? Well, there isn't one, at least I haven't seen it. And why is it 5 GB? The game disc for the third installment is supposed to be a CD.

This is an anthology with games 1 through 4. ;) And I only need the third one! Also, it's unclear whether you can install this at the same time as the patch for morale and luck...

No way! It's a tool to remove the copy protection from the original disc for Platinum. I found one for the first game somewhere, so there might be one for the third game as well. And will it work with this patch (4.1.1.1)?

I have an original disc from Buka, but it's heavily worn out. That's where the problem comes from...
Should I buy a new one?:mad:

Why do you need a patch for morale? If I understand correctly, it's needed for testing offline tournaments, and besides, patch 4.1.1.1 has a different purpose – to reduce the load on dual-core CPUs. In general, if you want a patch for offline use and don't want to deal with a 5GB file, buy the "Breath of Death" disc and insert/mount the 700MB disc as you like.

The morality patch is applied on top of the original .exe file. If the .exe file is already detached from the disc, the patched version will also be the same.

Wow, someone is still playing Heroes 3! :) Guys, I've been through a bunch of websites, and I was surprised that absolutely nowhere is anything said about how "Buka" really messed up when localizing this legendary RPG. The bug described below was first noticed by me in the cracked "Breath of Death" version from Buka. I thought it was an isolated case, but no – I downloaded the complete edition of Heroes 3 from Buka... and it's the same thing. The essence of the bug is as follows: You know how towers work during a castle siege – they attack the mobs besieging the castle, and their attack depends (or maybe doesn't depend) on the hero's attack, the "Ballistics" perk, and the presence of the "some kind of arrow" artifact! But that's not all... The towers of each castle increase their damage with each subsequent siege. Regardless of the outcome of the siege and the change of the castle's owner, the towers continue to develop, so after twenty sieges, you can destroy a catapult with a single volley before it even breaks through the walls, forcing the enemy to abandon their infantry units and flee, even if their army significantly outnumbers yours... and so on and so forth. So, in the licensed version from Buka, the towers always deal damage within the same range – 20-40 and 50-70 (approximately), regardless of the above conditions and the enemy's defense, although in the information window (at the bottom), the expected damage is calculated correctly (100, 250, and 1000, but in reality, it's only 29 and 51). Why does this bother me so much? I've been playing exclusively on "Impossible" difficulty since my first year of university, and I know that on this difficulty, upgraded towers often decide the outcome of what seemed like a lost war in your favor. So, if anyone knows how to fix this bug (maybe with some patch), please let me know. Or maybe someone knows where I can download the English version of the complete edition of Heroes 3.

The towers of each castle increase their damage with each subsequent siege. Regardless of the outcome of the siege and the change of the castle's owner, the towers continue to develop. Thus, after twenty sieges, a single volley can destroy a catapult before it breaches the walls.

Interesting information. Thank you. I will check it out.
